S: James has been desperate to ride a motorbike in Vietnam. I blame Top Gear myself lol. So we rented a motorbike one-way from Hoi An to Hue, and they would take our bags to the destination around 130km away. We were up early and out at 7am, first we headed to China Beach along the coast with its white sands, it was breath taking. I tried a Vietnamese coffee black and had to add the milk as J said it made my face go odd. Next we rode around the peninsula on Da Na...

J: On the journey from Dalat Sam started to feel unwell, by half way she had it exploding from both ends, she joined the brown club. So once we arrived at Hoi An we got in our room and I went out for breakfast on my own, found a great street with loads of food venders, normally I pick the busy place but accidentally picked the woman with no customers, but once I sat down every seat was full within a couple of minutes. It was a new type of noodle soup local to Vi...

S: We arrived after a fairly comfortable night bus at 6am. We rang Mr Ting who was the owner of the guesthouse and he came to collect us. We arrived back and well what a welcome hot tea and banana to start with, and then the biggest breakfast.

It would be great fun, but I knew m...

J: Once we got to Can Tho we quickly set off on bike taxis to our home stay destination. We had our big bags that they put between their legs on a semi-automatic Honda, then us on the back and off we went. The drivers didn't care too much for rules of the road, which made it a fun journey, although my guy had to do a large swerve on a dual carriageway when another bike pulled out of junction, and we ended up in the fast lane! When we got to our destination it wa...

S: So Vietnam here we come!! All sorted for a night bus, and should arrive in Saigon (pre war name) at 7am. Sometimes you forget you're in Asia, first of all, our pick up should have been 11.30pm, and we weren't picked up until 2.30am. Then we had to wait for another hour to fill the bus but finally we were on our way and the bus breaks down. Let's just say it was a long journey. But on the positive side we arrived in one piece. Even though we were tired from the...
